This is what some people want us to believe it was just a civilian forfeiture right? Can y'all see that whatever he got into there was really dangerous

Only you quoted. Only you explained. Only you believed yourself. TVC zombie crew

Yampotatocarrot:
I don't understand... Thought this case has been shoved aside since, why is it coming up now?

Looking at it from another angle, except the US can actually arrest him, I don't think whatever is in the file will stop him from contesting... Baba will just act as if he didn't hear anything

Whoever is trying to dig this up is definitely naive to think a drug case file or even an evidence of drug trafficking will stop those that want to vote BAT from voting him... The person no too wise

We are talking of Nigeria Not the US, are you Not ashamed to be known that your presido is a drug kingpin, no wonder his teeth is brown from sniffing heroin.
Are you not ashamed, or are you also an addict like him?
Which country was His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) convicted and by which court of law?

You talking to a honorable, highly esteemed, respected and vast technocrat.

You must be able to convince me with facts and ready to apologize for my unknowing.

I ask again, which country and court of law convicted the demigod- His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)?

The FBI just said a whole lot of words by saying very little.

Like I said before
The worst case scenario would be he was found guilty which most Nigerians like you already assumed.
It still won't change the outcome of the erection, it'll only create a buzz or mass hysteria and it's definitely gonna blow over.
I really hope the opposition has better cards up their sleeves because this can't be their only play.

Let's see if the DOJ would release the file
Fingers crossed 🤞

Boomyvig:
If you think in system, you know uncertainty can humble people where they least expected it.

Those conditions you listed are too basic. In circumstances like this one, you may see 30 and more conditions possible each with severe consequences to undermine public trust and integrity capable of shaping the law unprecedented and causing Tinubus removal from office.

You think those people fighting to have the record release don’t already know what’s in there ? And the level of damage it potentially can cause Tinubu? And why do you think Tinubu is actively doing everything to conceal the record ? Dey play.

So na Atiku manifestos be this.....
So finally if the case file is made public
How does that
Reduce price of fuel
Decrease inflation
Make Nigeria currency stronger.
Improve the economy.......huhhuhhuhhuh?

Una see say the so called opposition are very very useless.
What is the alternative solution to what Tinubu is doing now.
They cannot give a clear answer.
Very very useless opposition combined

If the files must be released, it must be released with unredacted Epstein files.

The US DOJ needs to lead by examples.

There are three possible outcomes in this situation:

First, just as David Hundeyin repeatedly deceived Atiku and the Obidients with new release dates, this new figure might also tell them that the date has been postponed again.

Second, the report could be released, but it might contain nothing serious—perhaps just a minor misdemeanor.

Third, the report could mirror the Chicago State University (CSU) statement, declaring that after investigating Bola Ahmed Tinubu, they found him to be a hardworking, upstanding American resident who has consistently demonstrated good character.

Think about it for a moment: The same United States, a country known for abducting foreign leaders on drug-related suspicions, would suddenly agree to share drug proceeds with one man—just because his name is Tinubu? That doesn’t add up.
If these are your thoughts or possibilities why would the fbi say what they said?

But the US can query us?

Can agree with me that imperialism and colonialism conquered many in Africa? Where an African is ready to answer questions but feels unworthy to question his masters!

I don’t care if the US recognizes me or not! I never seemed the attention.

Try to work and nurture your self esteem. It will take you far in life.

Re: FBI To US Court: Disclosing Tinubu’s Records Could Endanger Lives, Reveal Techni by blaise26abj(m): 2:37pm On Aug 21
Three things come to mind
1. He was innocent but provided information that could set people after him
2. He is guilty and ratted out his partners so he is being protected from reprisal attacks
3. He is guilty and has always been under the thumb of the US government.

Whichever one it is , seems US government has him under their wings. How much that affects US interests in Nigeria remains to be seen .

FBI to US court: Disclosing Tinubu’s records could endanger lives, reveal our techniques


https://www.thecable.ng/fbi-to-us-court-disclosing-tinubus-records-could-endanger-lives-reveal-our-techniques/
So, this is progress in the matter. We are no longer dealing with ambiguity about whether records exist. The FBI has acknowledged that responsive records exist, specifically, records relating to an interview and 302 forms associated with the matter. That is an important distinction.

For clarity, an FBI Form FD-302 is an agent's interview report used to document information obtained during an interview. It is not a verbatim transcript or necessarily an audio recording of the interview. Rather, FBI agents generally prepare a written summary of the information obtained from the interview, based on their notes and recollection.

Now, the FBI's position, as I understand it, is not that the records do not exist. Rather, the issue is whether some of the information can be withheld because its disclosure could reveal law-enforcement techniques, confidential-source information, or other details that the FBI says could compromise ongoing or future operations or put individuals at risk.

And this is where I think we need to be careful with the conclusions we draw.

The existence of an FD-302 relating to an interview does not, by itself, establish that Tinubu was an FBI informant, that he “squealed” on anyone, or that he provided information about criminal partners. But it may well be any or all of the above and more as well. Those are possible interpretations being circulated, but they require evidence from the underlying records which is the reason an FOIA now exists for clarity.

What is significant, however, is that the existence of records is no longer something we can reasonably dismiss as mere speculation. There are records, there was an interview which must have originated from a suspicion of involvement in unlawful activity and we can reasonably infer what that activity is, and the dispute over access to those records has become the subject of FOIA litigation. Those are matters that can be established independently.

I think the content of the sort report is such that will negatively reverberate in great dimension for Nigri, likely to make the Gloria Okon saga a child's play in comparism. This also does nothing to quell the suspicion in some quarters that the subject may be a foreign asset.

My friend and brother, Aswani, in light of the pending FOIA litigation, the FBI seeking ex parte in camera declaration, the FBI's acknowledgment that responsive records exist, the existence of FD-302 records, and the information concerning the origin of the request, what exactly are we still arguing about?.

You have consistently maintained that there was no case, no FOIA matter, and essentially nothing to investigate. We now have considerably more information than we had at the beginning of this discussion.

So, what else do you wish to bring forward in defence of your man. or, as the case may be, the President?.

Because at this point, I think the most sensible thing is to let the legal process play out and see what the records actually contain. If the documents ultimately exonerate him, fantastic. If they raise further questions, then we deal with those questions.

Either way, the documents should speak for themselves.

Ultimately, Nigerians, na Escobar dey rule una. 😂

But jokes aside, let's hope these information gets handed over. That's where the argument should ultimately be settled.

Everything is politics my brother. If the file indict him badly, Nigerians may rise against him uncontrollably and can be so chaotic that can result to regime change abruptly.

Why is the FBI desperate to hide the drug records of this man? It only means he was a snitch in communities across Chicago and the FBI used him to put people in jail.
I agree with you.

I don't want Asiwaju to have an easy victory, it's not a good look for our democracy. However, the oppositions are not providing serious challenges to the leading party.

Hmmm….with the way these guys have been evasive on this matter, I am now beginning to think Tinubu is indeed a CIA asset.

Why do you find it difficult to oppose your masters and demand answers they demand from you?
